Thank You for Visiting Vibra Hospital of Denver

We Serve Patients in Need of Extended Critical Care

Standard hospitals provide patients with “acute” care. This is an intense level of medical treatment given to patients who are suffering from serious injury or illness. While the hospital can provide valuable services in the short-term, they are not designed to care for patients that will need an extended period of treatment to recover. This is why many physicians, hospitals, and caseworkers refer patients to a long term acute care facility like Vibra Hospital of Denver.

Our team is made up of specially trained physicians, nurses, and physical therapists that are dedicated to maximizing a patient’s recovery and exceeding their expectations. No matter how serious an injury or illness is, we know what people are capable of and provide patients and their loved ones with realistic goals and support throughout the healing process.

Meeting the Unique Needs of Critically Ill Patients

Injuries and illness can take many forms and affect people in different ways. Our knowledgeable team takes the time to meet with each patient to learn more about the specifics of their condition and what we can do to make them feel more comfortable.

We encourage a patient’s loved ones to spend as much time with them as they can. Talking to our medical staff to learn more about what you can do to help is often beneficial for all parties involved, and knowing you’re there to cheer them on is a tremendous morale booster for the patient.
